Ulises

Meaning of Ulises

Ulises, a male name, is the Spanish spin on Ulysses, the Latin version of the legendary Greek voyager Odysseus. Picture a clever sailor who dodges monsters all day yet still makes it home in time for evening chai—now that’s hero material! In real life the name wears two friendly hats: oo-LEE-ses for Spanish-speaking abuelas and yoo-LY-sis for English-speaking teachers. Sitting comfortably in America’s Top-700 for decades, Ulises moves to a steady tabla beat—never flashy, always present. The name carries the smell of sea spray, the thrill of new roads, and the warm promise of return. Give it to your little one and you tuck a tiny compass into his pocket, playful and poetic, forever pointing him toward adventure and homecoming.
